Sometime around final exams I began working on this. Since then I've worked on it off and on.

Yes! We'll be needing this.

Tracking.

Looking good so far!

[bobbtmann]

Thanks! Here's another update. I think the geometry is about finished, and I've started UV mapping it.

Loving the amount of details your models have guys.

It's currently sitting at ~6000 triangles. It's not too much, is it?

[brandx0]

Might be a little bit high for a fighter, most of our other fighters sit around the 2500-4000 range.  Certain things like the grooves on the wings and tail can be done in texture rather than on the model.  It's very very pretty though =)

I was referring to the shape your greeblings, that circle'ish thing they've got...
I have a hard time getting those shapes in my models.

I just fiddle with the vertices until they look curved. I think it helps if you have an idea of what shapes you want to make. Otherwise it can be hard to just spontaneously come up with a greebling solution that works.

Forgive my ignorance, but... what's this De Havilland Vampire-like fighter for? It's from the EU (not European Union! ), right?

[TopAce]

It's a relatively well-known, general-purpose independent fighter that appears in a number of EU sources. Used by pirates and other nonaligned groups.

So that's why I didn't know anything about it prior to checking this thread. Thanks!

It was originally an atmospheric fighter right?

[newman]

Not sure about Tie Fighter, but I'm pretty sure X-Wing alliance had them.

yer, I don't think they were built by the original manufacturer for space flight which came from after market kit

Since I never played XvT I can't say anything about that game, but it was in Alliance for sure. It was even used in the campaign at least once.

According my Vehicles and Vessels, it was designed for spaceflight; it was hyperdrive that was aftermarket.

Love the cloakshape - Really liking your modelling choices so far bobbtman, and the models themselves too

Seconded--you've chosen almost all of the EU ships I like (a pretty short list, tbh ) and none of the ones I hate, and the reimaginings are awesome.
